Blip, blip, blip....
Had my first bike ride since last October. It was only 2.6 kms around the neighborhood. Hopefully will not be the last ride this year.

There was still too much ice on Friday but there was massive melting on the weekend so I might (fingers crossed) be able to go out soon

Was up to 18 degrees today so I just had to do it. Good luck with getting out soon, BethAnne.

Now, I wish that I'd successfully bike-trained Lucy. I suspect that we would both have had a lot of fun and exercise by now! The first summer I had her, we had a sort of successful bike route, not long, about 3/4 mile, and I biked with her looped by leash around my waist. Dangerous, you'd think, but we sort of developed a rhythm. But I don't know what happened over that next winter, because when I tried in the spring, she kept on turning around and trying to attack the front wheel, which was a problem. I don't know why I didn't try what my next plan was - to put together one of those back wheel leash attachment things. Then the next winter, she broke her leg...and I simultaneously adopted a Basset who wasn't doing any "running with bikes".

We got to about 8 today. The wind picked up this afternoon and has been quite wild.

It was wicked cold here (comparative; we had those nice temps last week), it didn't get above 0, -2 when I walked with Lucy & Griffin this aft. Was wearing pretty well full winter gear (i.e. just wool hat instead of wool hat on top of headband and real wool mittens, but not flannel-lined real wool mittens), still a bit chilly. Much of the snow is gone, but it's still quite icy in spots. And really cold wind. LAST.

We got to 3 or 4, I think, but the wind chill was bad. I tried going for a walk but was defeated (or should that be de-feeted) by a heel injury from yesterday that was irritated by my shoes.

Ouch on the heel. Sore feet are no fun.
I walked to the grocery store today and managed to fall in a puddle along the way. There was a bit of a ditch and I slipped on some mud and fell onto my hands and knees in the puddle. Right near a busy intersection. The only thing injured was my dignity. For a moment.

Glad you were okay and didn't injure yourself
To find oneself undignified is a deduction from what was previously esteemed! Can the stand down be induced? Unthinkable?

Just my pride. I did get a bit of a scrape on my knee surprisingly. Not a big deal
